India's win over Bangladesh in the Group 2 match of the T20 World Cup 2022 on Wednesday all but confirmed their qualification for the semi-finals. Although there are still a few numbers in the mix that could see Rohit Sharma & Co. losing, the victory of Bangladesh gave their words a big boost. At the same time, the result put Pakistan's qualification chances in jeopardy. But all hope is not gone for Pakistan. Barbar Azem & Co. have two more sports to play in the competition, if the items resulted in their favor, they can still write tickets for the last four.

Pakistan has to blame only for their status is now. The tournament in India was so close that it could have gone either way. In the end, the Indian team should win. It was against Zimbabwe that Pakistan lost the basket and won an unexpected big win. Babar's men beat the Netherlands to keep their semi-final hopes alive, but the situation has changed dramatically.

Example 1: Pakistan won both matches (against South Africa and Bangladesh), South Africa won the Netherlands. Pakistan will advance to the semi-finals even if the Netherlands and South Africa match is abandoned due to rain.

Example 2: Pakistan won both matches (against South Africa and Bangladesh), and India continued to beat Zimbabwe by huge margins, so its return rate fell below Pakistan's.

In fact, the second scenario seems more reasonable than the first, although neither scenario is the easiest for Pakistan to eliminate. Babar Azam's team will first have to beat South Africa on Thursday to stay top of the tournament. A win against the Proteas will bury all their hopes.
